IMPACT – Australia: Investment for social and economic benefit

A comprehensive look at impact investing in Australia – what it is, why it matters and its potential – this report was initiated by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) in collaboration with JBWere, a long established wealth management and investment advisory business in Australia and New Zealand.

From the report: "This report draws on activity already happening here and highlights the diversity and dynamism of the impact investing field. The Australian experience is echoing widespread international developments that actively seek to create positive benefits for society as well as financial return. It builds on the momentum of responsible investment and other areas focusing on positive social and economic outcomes."
